#HOW TO USE BEACON MINECRAFT XBOX 360 UPDATE#
Thanks to Content Update 48 and it's wonderful new Tutorial World, however, this achievement is now unbelievably easy to obtain with well over 200 iron, gold, emerald and diamond blocks readily available.Īfter exiting the starting area, head across the bridge and towards the beacon (the beam of light shooting into the sky). Normally, this would take a very long time. 1st layer is 9x9, then 7x7, 5x5, 3x3 for a total of 164 blocks or 1476 ingots. The pyramid is 4 layers with the beacon on top. To fully power a beacon you have to create a pyramid using any combination of iron, gold, emerald or diamond blocks. An even quicker method is by just going into the tutorial, as there is a beacon already built with the top two levels there, so you do not have to craft a beacon and duplicating the items happens much faster.
#HOW TO USE BEACON MINECRAFT XBOX 360 HOW TO#
If you are not up to the task of getting such a stupid amount of iron, you can always use the duplication glitch, which requires you make only 1 iron block and have built a double chest, the other guides explain how to do this glitch. The trouble with this achievement is the amount of time it will take you to get such a crazy amount of iron. As soon as you place the beacon the achievement unlocks. So to fully power it you must make a square pyramid out of iron blocks with a base of 9 x 9 blocks, and the beacon in the center. By adding underneath it a 5 x 5 square it is level 2, followed by a 7 x 7 then finally a 9 x 9 square meaning it is fully powered. To power it up you must build a pyramid out of the iron blocks, with the beacon sitting on top, The lowest power is simple a 3 x 3 square, with the beacon placed in the center. There are 4 levels available to pwoering up the beacon, each on only increases the range of the previous. When placed on normal ground thats about all it does, however, it can be powered to create a buff which gives all players close to it an ability, such as increased speed, jumping, strength or health. The beacon, when placed, sends a beam of light into the sky. Obviously the only difficult to obtain piece is the nether star, which can be only obtained by killing the wither, which is quite a task in itself and I won't go over here. Building the beacon itslef can take quite a while, it requires 5 glass blocks, 3 obsidian, and a nether star, looking like this (G=glass block, O= obsidian, N= nether star) The reason you need so much is because there are 2 requirements to this achievment, 1 is to build a beacon, and the other is to fully power it.
I should mention this can also be done using either gold, diamond, or gem blocks, but since iron is signifcantly more common then these, it's your best bet. This is because you need 164 iron blocks, and since it takes 9 ingots to make a block, 9 x 164= 1476. Unfortunately this achievement requires you mine alot of iron, I mean a whole lot.
